Abstract (english)

Dihydroxylammonium-5,5’-bistetrazolyl-1,1’-diolate (TKX-50), is
one of the most promising energetic materials that has been
reported in recent time. TKX-50 shows great potential for future
application as a secondary explosive, due to its sensitivity and
explosive performance data. In this work, we report initial
computational results which have been undertaken to investigate
the viability of the application of TKX-50 as an energetic
ingredient in rocket propellants.
